JoeCo BBR1D 24ch BlackBox Recorder – AES/EBU and Unbalanced I/O

The 24 channel JoeCo BLACKBOX BBR1D multi-track digital recorder is the trusted choice of professionals using a digital mixing console with AES/EBU I/O. Three 25-way female D-type connectors, each carrying 8 channels of inputs and outputs, can be connected directly into the digital mixer to capture and return the signals without any additional A-D conversion, giving 12 stereo channels of AES/EBU inputs and 12 stereo channels of AES/EBU outputs. Analogue inputs are also still available (switchable). All other BLACKBOX Recorder features remain unchanged.

The AES/EBU interfaces can operate at up to 96kHz and conform to the AES standard (AES-3:2003). It is also possible to daisy-chain multiple BBR1D units together to create a larger system.

All BLACKBOX Recorders are designed and built to exacting standards with rugged construction and a suite of unique multi-track audio capture features. The choice of professional users, the BBR1D multi-track digital recorder is the solution the professional audio industry chooses and trusts.
